Inclosing the Liar Paradoxes

This paper argues that Graham Priest's inclosings of Jourdain's and Yablo's paradox have defects, but that inclosings of these paradoxes can be given without these defects by formulating diagonalizing functions such that diagonalizers are sequences of true sentences.

In doing this, certain points concerning the inclosure project and the inclosure schema itself are clarified. For example, some properties that make an inclosing successful are considered in detail.

Sorites without Negation

This paper presents Curry-style (negationfree, trivializing) paradoxes corresponding to the Sorites, Burali-Forti's, and Berry's paradoxes as instances of Martin Pleitz' generalization of the inclosure schema.

The existence of Curry-style paradoxes corresponding to so many inclosure paradoxes is a reason to think that Curry's paradox requires the same kind of solution as the inclosure paradoxes.

Inclosure and the Sorites

This paper presents some objections to Graham Priest's inclosing of the Sorites and responses to those objections.

Inclosing the Problem of the Many

This paper presents an inclosing of the problem of the many and further discusses the notion of an inclosing capturing the structure of a paradox.

Curry Inclosed

This paper is a much closer look at whether Curry's paradox is of a kind with the inclosure paradoxes than "Sorites without Negation" is.

The approach here is not to produce Curry-esque paradoxes corresponding to various inclosure paradoxes but to argue directly for a one solution view from the inclosure project, a variant of Martin Pleitz' "Most General" schema, and the existence of explosive analogues for the inclosure paradoxes.
